AdmitRaven

Duolingo for college applications

What it does

AdmitRaven is a college counselor in your pocket for a fraction of the cost. It walks students through the entire application journey in daily, bite-sized lessons, and blocks doomscrolling until you finish them. It helps you craft authentic, compelling essays, stay on top of every deadline and requirement, and match to the right schools and scholarships. You can even read real admitted students' essays from your dream school, and ask them questions directly.

Get into your dream college. Read the real essays, stats, and strategies from students who got into Harvard, Stanford, MIT & more. Then message them for specific advice.

What if you could read the EXACT essays that got people into their dream schools? Or just message them and ask how they did it?? Because that's literally what we built. A college tutoring service in your pocket. It walks you through everything—schools, deadlines, essays, mentors—from start to finish, one small daily lesson at a time. It walks you through everything — from picking schools to pressing submit — one small lesson at a time. Boutique firms charge $6,000 to $33,000. Private consultants average $200 an hour. Single-feature AI tools charge $39 a month for essay feedback alone. AdmitRaven is $ 20 a month for all of it. One hour with a private college consultant costs more than 10…from admitraven.com

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
